First I would like to pay homage to India's most graceful, charismatic and witty cricketer ever! MAK Pataudi Sir I will miss your wit and humour the most.:( CLT20 got off to a rapping start! I am not a big fan of rap but CLT20 being a global tournament it was only apt to start with some rap n zap. As we move onwards to the cricket,RCB Vs Warriors didn't look like an mouth watering encounter to

All along "The Dust Bowl" and "I Dont Know How To Play Spin" brigade has been driving home the message that exciting cricket only happens on fast and bouncy green tops.Well yesterday's T20 match was as much an even contest as you will ever see. Team Photo Auckland Aces Its no surprise that it was an low scoring match that produced a nail biting finish.The biggest surprise for me was that the

I will tell you why ! See I know the management behind all the 10 Ipl Teams are highly qualified in fact some of them might be over qualified with countless alphabets after their name signifying the schools,colleges,honors and degree they have got but yesterday they all looked liked amateurs who have no clue about sports!

These aren't the big stars who are int he bucket list but I am telling you these are players to watch out for! Actually I think one of the IPL franchises should give me a job as talent shout lol.Anyway my hands are already full or what! Instead of spending millions on one star, the strategy should be to invest on players who have potential.Any Idiot can make money investing on blue chip stocks!

If you are Mumbai fan you would be expecting atleast a semifinal appearance from your team.I say that the least you would expect from a team that dominated the IPL.It has everything strong bowling, greatest player ever as its captain and decent batting wait a minute ? does it have everything's ? Nope !! I always miss the almost forgotten part "Fielding".The way Mumbai Indians fielded yesterday

As I predicted CSK won easily, they are too consistent a side to lose against the stage,Once again its was the technically sound player who never gets its dues S.Badrinath who helped CSK post 151 on a seaming durban wicket.S.Badrinath is no superstar, he doesn't have the flair of virendar sehwag or does he have the big shots that make people go crazy, but he gets things done.

Like many a pundits have predicated lions to be the underdog's in the season opener of champions league 2010.We can all understand why everyone thought so,on paper Mumbai Indians had the better squad.But the important thing that help the lions on that day was on paper they had team. They showed why you are better as a team than a group of brilliant players, Mumbai Indians have a great squad but

Yes , the joke's on not just me! Everyone who loves this beautiful game.I still cannot really come to terms with what is happening over the past couple of week's, "In case you haven't been keeping track of current events, we just got our asses kicked."I am not worried about tainted cricketers,embarrassed countries or disappointed fans,I am worried about the game.Dead pitches,

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are IPL 2010 champions after a superb victory over Mumbai Indians by 22 runs.If there ever was a them that can beat Mumbai and claim they deserved it more then it would be Chennai.They were the finalists in the inaugural edition of IPL, outplayed in the semi's in second edition, but here they are in the final for the second time in three years.They hoped the cricketing

So yeah the Victorian who made to semifinals last year and qualified the year before have done it again.The Victorian managed to secure a place in the KFC Big Bash final there by making them automatic qualifiers for the CLT20.Victorian's will be facing South Australia in the Final on Jan 23rd.

Its refreshing to see that Champions League cricket is not like champions league of football. Where as the same five or six teams dominate the finals.In the last four years atleast two EPL teams have qualified for the last four making its dominance felt but the power of the english clubs have made FIFA look at the league in a different way. Dominance of any kind for a long period of time may lead

Victorian Bushrangers showed why Australia has remained the single most dominant side in world cricket for the past decade.They play good consistent cricket regardless of the conditions or the performance of one individual.Royal Challengers knew the conditions like the back of their hand, had the overwhelming crowd support and had a man with 600 test wicket as the captain.The match started with
